American Idol Predictions Were Wrong, Melinda Doolittle Goes Home

American Idol contestant Melinda Doolittle was delivered a shocking blow last night when she was sent home leaving the final two, Blake Lewis and Jordin Sparks, to battle it out next Tuesday for American Idol’s final’s week.

As is typical, the show dragged out revealing the results as long as possible, but the first contestant to receive relief was the bubbly Jordin Sparks who continues to be lovable and sweet. This left us with Blake and Melinda, and I doubt few watching could have expected the outcome to favor Blake Lewis who has seen his fair share of close calls this season. Melinda Doolittle hasn’t been in the bottom three once this season and judge Simon Cowell called her the “most consistent contestant” in the group. True dat!

But, alas Melinda’s wild ride came to an end last night. Fellow contestants Blake and Jordin seemed quit stricken with the news, shedding several tears during her goodbye montage. Melinda, with all the graciousness and professionalism we’ve come to expect shed barely a tear, smiled throughout and cheered on her friends who remained while closing the show with her strong voice intact performing once again “I’m A WOMAN.”

Worry not about Melinda. She will get a recording contract and likely be a huge hit.

So that leaves us with beat-boxer Blake and cute-as-button Jordin. My bets are with Jordin, but I wouldn’t be shocked one bit if Blake wins. The guy is stealthy.
